Chapter 15
" 'None of us know how this will end. But all of us know that it will end. The only certainty in life is that it is better to live in hope than in despair, love rather than hate, and unity as opposed to division. There is more good in us than bad, of this I am certain. And when we meet the end, whatever that may be, may we hold our heads high and say that it was a life worth living for all of Earth’s creatures.' ~ Maggie Sullivan ~"
